Study of MB17004M International Corporate Governance means the following:

You are assumed to have read all documents and other material provided on the module Moodle page, such as the module documentation, assessment instructions, information on plagiarism, on Harvard referencing, and so on.

The module proceeds with a series of workshops that you are assumed to engage with fully as follows.

Workshops explain some key ideas and also recommend publications in which these ideas are further explained and discussed. You should aim to understand these key ideas fully and to form a critical assessment of them. It is unlikely that you will achieve this by simply attending the lecture – you will need to review the lecture slides and your own notes, together with the recommended study materials, theories and cases on corporate governance practices from at least 7 different countries across the 5 continents. In addition to explaining key ideas, lectures also act as a guide to further relevant material that is explained less thoroughly in the lecture, but which is explained and discussed in recommended publications that you should read and study independently. 

Overall, workshops can be viewed as a guide to what you should be reading and learning, and thus as a guide to how you should spend your time in relation to this module.

Workshop activities after the initial lecture take a number of forms. For example, activities may involve discussion of basic module information such as how to approach the assessment. Or you may be asked to read some material before the woskshop and you must be ready to discuss it. Workshop may provide formative feedback on draft student work – and so on. Similarly, lectures and all of the activities undertaken in workshop can be seen as a guide to what you should be reading and learning, and thus as a guide to how you should spend your time in relation to this module.
